My non-Creator adapted version Basic Principles of Creativity
I'm currently starting week 3, but I've been sitting with Cameron's Basic Principles list for a bit and not loving how I feel when I return to it. I'm mostly agnostic with a touch of woo in the "creativity is magic, actually" way, and I really wasn't enjoying the god talk in what I'm supposed to read daily.
So I adapted it! Hopefully this resonates with y'all who feel the same about the God and Creator talk in the book.
Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure, creative energy.
There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life—including ourselves.
When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the lineage of creativity that exists within us at the core of our being.
We are, ourselves, creations. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.
Creativity is a fundamental trait of humanity; to be human is to be creative and innovative. Using our creativity is putting our creativity back into humanity, back into the world.
The refusal to be creative is a denial of our potential and is counter to our best interests.
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to the millennia of creative history and evolution that came before us and the lessons we can learn from our ancestors.
As we open our creative channel to our core selves, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.
Our creative dreams and yearnings come from an innate drive at the core of our being. As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our purpose.
